Mermedus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mermedus is a fictional god (or god-like creature) in Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy world setting. It is believed by some Norse (mainly Skaeling tribe) that this Daemonic creature walks on the sea floor in the Sea of Claws. It's appearance is said to be bulbous and ghoulish figure, bloated in death, and covered in bluging eyes. It is common knowledge that Stromfels causes stormy waters to capsize ships and drown sailors.
Norse fear this god very much and sacrifice their slaves (Thralls) to it.
It is believed that Mermedus is actually dark reflection of sea god Manann, but it's appearance makes also possible that it is reflection of Nurgle. Or it is just another Greater Daemon.
